About Me: 

What could you possibly want to know?  I've been married to the same man for 19 years.  We have two kids, 9 and 5.  Had some infertility issues getting the older and then surprise we had the younger.  Diagnosed with breast cancer at age 38 with no family history.  Now I'm saying and doing as much of what I want to as I like.
